Learn some manners kid. You don't tell someone that, that's obscenely offensive. Apologize to Kraftie right now

Yeah.....I'm overweight.

But do you run at least 3 miles a day, like I do?

It doesn't matter.

I know I'm in decent shape!

Not great shape, necessarily---but all right shape for my age.

I take it you don’t believe in BMI?

Not totally. Only somewhat.

I know my BMI is 26.5 or so.

And I do have a little belly.

But----so what?

Do you run at least 3 miles a day at 10 minutes a mile, even in 30-degree Celsius heat?

Again sorry I don’t mean to come across as offensive. I am just quite interested in the accuracy of BMI.

I don't believe BMI is totally accurate. It has some basis--I don't go by it.

I go by what I can do. And how I look.

Mike Tyson was 5ft10 and weighed 218 pounds of muscle in his prime. I think that’s probably enough evidence that BMI is useless for some
